Depends on what you do, doesn't it? A decent dinner for two in an upscale Thai or Western restaurant can cost upwards of B5K, maybe B5k more if you have a couple bottles of good wine and a coffee and cognac or two afterwards. If you paid for your dinner companion, add another 3-5K. If you go bar hopping with her afterward; well, there you go and you haven't paid for breakfast, lunch, or a few afternoon beers. Holiday partying is not day to day living on the cheap.

Personally for the type of holiday that you are planning, I would give Bangkok only 2 nights max and the rest in Pattaya. Bangkok is far too expensive, too busy and the nightlife spread out over too large an area. I know the Pattaya haters will disagree with me but in my opinion as a newbie, Pattaya is your best bet. In Pattaya from a beer bar, expect to pay 300 - 500 bar fine and 1000 Short time 1500 - 2000 Long Time. If you are on a budget avoid bar fining from Walking St gogos its 1500 - 2000 bar fine with prices 3000 ST and 5000 LT. Drinks are also more expensive but there are gogos that do Happy Hour all night on Tues Weds and Sunday. I dont think I can name them. Soi LK Metro gogos are better value but the girls not as fit but you do get the odd stunner.

How much to bring. Well thats hard. I would think for a night out 10000 should be enough plus what you spend in the day. By the way if you are younger then try the nightclubs. No barfine and maybe the girl fancies you and just wants to have fun. She will let you know. Always expect to pay and dont disrespect her and just want a freebie.

ST average is 500-700 in pattaya.....LT 1000-1500 (in bkk I never go above 1.5K LT)

No offense meant. But I would hate to see the girls you choose to frequent with. I know Pattaya very very well and at those prices you really are getting someone at the lower end of whats on offer in Pattaya. Each to his own I suppose.

I spend what I know is right. I was at the boxing in Malaysia free hotel compliments of TR I spent on according to the countries standards as l always do.

But regardless of what my worth is l won't be getting robbed by a bunny in Thailand. You may enjoy it son lol

Sorry, I am happily married and I was speaking of the OP and his desire to have a business lady and party. Too bad you have to have your good times compliments of others. When I worked I always flew first or business class, when traveling stayed in five-star hotels, when on assignment had my family with me in very nice housing and usually drove a Mercedes; all at company expense. When I took vacations away from it; spending $5k/wk was not unusual. When I retired and had to pay for it myself; I fly mostly economy, stay in less expensive hotels and drive Japanese cars. However, I still frequently enjoy a good meal and a bottle or two of wine and travel often throughout SEA. No problem spending money.

Hmm hotel up from 500 bath a night lets say 15 euro per night up to 4.000 bath per night depending what you are looking for.

Look in Trivago or Agoda. But I understand you ahve booked hotel already and payed

Cost low budget: breakfast at about 200 bath (in foodcourt at malls and lotus tesco or foodland) same for lunch. Drinks depending on what. Dinner with a gf at about 1.600 bath.

Barfine a girl will be up from 1000 bath per girl. Better look in internet in dating site for a burner. (date in asia, thai cupid, thai friendly etc.). Can have a gf for the time there. Costs at about 4000 bath per day on foor expenses and some pocket money.

For tours use the skytrain get a day ticket (one day pass) for 140 bath. Better when you are in BKK first time.

Trip bangkok pattaya is at about 1.500 bath by taxi.

The rest of the costs same same

So when add without hotel you can manage with 7.000 bath a day and have a great time. But of course when like can also spend easily 10.000 bath a day or double.

Get youself a gf for the whole time she can guide you and you pay her for all service is best deal for you whengo there first time.
